Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award, valued at $797,404.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant was awarded to the City of Trenton, New Jersey on August 1, 2024, with a performance period ending on July 31, 2025.

The funding supports a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the Trenton area. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The primary objectives are to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. The City of Trenton's Grants Management Division will collaborate with local nonprofits, public housing authorities, and state departments to implement these grant-funded initiatives.
